I robbed Pete and Paul and...

and Mary and Joseph and the kid next door's piggy bank and the homeless chick down the street's can collection and a few relatives along with wiping out my savings and tax returns....($5000.00 is coming from my own pocket...ugh) All for a good cause...in my opinion! Lower Body Lift scheduled for February 27th, 3 weeks from Monday. total cost $8750.00 consult fee $60 (subtracted from surgeon fee if procedure done) surgeon fee $5940.00 anesthisiologist (sp) $950.00 operating room fee $1800.00 outpatient, no anticipated overnight costs, crossing fingers for smooth ride I'm excited.....the boss won't be LOL but she knew it was coming and she'd have to cover my time off. I find great humour in day shifters covering 3rd shift hehehe. Michelle 324/155/ @ goal = 154

Congrats Michelle, From what I've been checking into that seems like a good price. I've been seeing mostly in the 15K area so you will have to let me know if you are really satisfied--I can travel! I'm not ready for plastics yet, but will be about this time next year. Still have some weight to lose! Pat -122

Wow Michelle--that seems like a unbelievable price! I have not seen a lbl for less than 13K. I also have not found plastic surgeons interested in doing this procedure as an outpatient. I don't want to sound like a nay sayer--but please make sure that you check the surgeons credentials and see before and after pics. Also check with other's for recommendations. Good luck!

way to go Michelle! congrats! have you looked into the possibility it writing off your taxes next year? If not, be sure to do that. Best wishes to you for your continued success!! Karyn
